The Jackson Laboratory Adopts New Titles for Research Faculty

JAX® NOTES Issue 510, Summer 2008

The Jackson Laboratory is changing its research faculty titles to better align them with those of comparable research institutions.

Senior Staff Scientists will become Professors, Staff Scientists will become Associate Professors, and Associate Staff Scientists will become Assistant Professors.

These new titles, approved by faculty vote, will clarify the faculty’s scientific roles on grant applications, in published papers and in other communications, said Robert Braun, Ph.D., associate director and chair for research.
